I get out of the subway at 68th street and Lexington Avenue, where Hunter College is located. This is an extremely busy subway station and college campus.

My house is located six blocks away from this...
I counted four mailboxes on my route and an average of three to four trees per block. On these blocks were a combination of businesses, and residential properties. I counted nine restaurants on my path home, and one deli. At the subway station at 68th and Lexington Avenue, there were three street vendors.

Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths The book I chose to review is Abraham: a journey to the heart of three faiths by Bruce Feiler. Feiler is an interesting author for scholarly books, in that his work is not bound by traditional scholastic guidelines. Rather than studying about something in an educational setting, Feiler immerses himself in an experience. He has written about religious and secular topics, but
God the Almighty bestowed on His Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a miracle -- al- Israa' wal- Mi'raj (the Night Journey & Ascension) -- in order that his honor be increased and that he be revealed one of His grand signs.
